I gave my image heavy processing guessing that would be okay for this challenge and might score well and a couple of comments have come in already making it clear I was wrong about this.

It's going to be a long week and I wish I could just brush my entry under the rug. Not so much for the score which isn't that bad, but for the processing that I don't even like myself- what was I thinking? :( |
I think you are being too hard on yourself. It is a learning process, and you don't learn if you don't make mistakes. |

Posting this because I'm falling with every single vote. Definitely a mid five finish on the horizon. |

I did the same thing! One of my lowest scores in a while but at least it's above 4 now o.O |
I feel your pain Justin! Lol! You and my other Jawbones teammates would not have let me squander a perfectly good scene like I did. The bleeding will be over in a week ;)
@ Osiris and Snaffles: Thanks :) I did learn something valuable here. I just wish it had been what "to do" rather than what "not to do" :P |

Just remember, it's an art, not a science. Even "sure bets" are not all that "sure" :-)

Nicky, it's still plenty early for the shot to continue to climb to where you were expecting it. But if it doesn't, a 6.35 in best of is pretty darn good. |

Good grief, this is the Free Study of Free Studies...and they are almost always 0.5 or more lower than normal challenges. I'de be dancing a jig with a a 6.3 so early. Whippersnappers :P |

Anyone else want to try to comment on at least half? I'm going to try to do them all. |
I will try to march to the tune of 100 - and rather than do commentary with the volumes I normally write I will write something creative (along the lines of poems - mini story) along with a few short lines of what I think about the shot. Still it will be slow going I feel because I like to linger and think too much:-)
I knew my "Best Of" may or may not resonate with the voters - but it really wasn't for the masses. It IS a personal statement and one I am very proud to make and proclaim. I love my shot regardless of score.

| Well, here it's snowing a lot (and it very rarely happens - this is the worst in 30 years) so I'm going to comment on some images after dinner :) |

Pleased, but not doing any jigs, liking the direction the score is moving. Cannot count on a Personal Best due to the nature of the challenge, but glad it will be better than my gross Avg |

I thought I did not really have anything to enter in this. Mostly because I am very needy and any decent shot I take that I do not enter into a real challenge I throw up on a side challenge thread in the desperate hope someone will make a nice comment. I know it is pretty pathetic. I am working on this.
However, last night I found a shot I liked that I considered for a challenge but felt it didn't quite fit.

I think you were much too kind regarding my entry Richard, but your vote and comment were very much appreciated :)

Slow going because I like to linger. The ones commented on have votes locked in. All others I will adjust scores as I comment more and have time to study and appreciate the entries (btw it is always adjusted up) |

It's been a pretty steady climb. I hope everyone else is recovering nicely from the early onslaught.

Well I'm out of the 4's and into the 5's, but nothing spectacular...I was a little disappointed at first, I know the subject matter isn't the most creative and a lot of people aren't into it, but I still thought it was good enough that it would do better:

...HOWEVER, someone just left me an amazing comment that completely made my day and made up for the low score. :) |
